Yes, the other blonde bombshell, here with a certain Joe Robinson! She was of course in charge of a very Avengers-inspired squad of "emancipated" PVC and leather-clad ruling-class women in "The Worm That Turned" serial on the Two Ronnies show in the 1980s.mousemeat wrote: Diana Dors, was another UK star in the 50's....

I'm not a huge fan of colorization..as the early attempts looked like bad crayons....however, with newer computer software, it gets pretty darn
good...I recently watched a colorization of a 50's sci-fi flick, 'Earth VS the Flying Saucers' and it looked superb....but still, I prefer the original b & w version...go figure...problem with many b/w films, is the way they are filmed, with shadows, etc..much different than technicolor productions..

Re: Honor Blackman
I never get tired of seeing Honor....in any show / movie...and her interviews were always interesting
I remember seeing Ms. Dors on some UK program, and she had ballooned up weight wise...sheesh

Re: Honor Blackman
Very interesting that Maurice Kauffman thanks her for tending him on his sickbed for nine months (before 1993 when this was made) and she did the same thing again 4 years after this when he had terminal cancer: "Maurice Kaufmann died in 1997 in London from cancer, aged 70. He was nursed, on his deathbed, by his ex-wife, Honor Blackman." What an absolute angel she was!Borgus Weems wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 9:29 pm Honor Blackman, This Is Your Life:

Re: Honor Blackman
Yeah, I remember reading about Honor, and her taking care of her ex.....and yeah, she was a angel....and unlike many other actresses, Honor aged very well, with the passing of the years...she was hot ! whoa, nellie ! lol
